Abstract
A breakaway mechanism for a twine wrapping apparatus on a roll baling machine couples a twine dispensing member to a pinion which is in intermeshing engagement with a gear rack. The pinion and the gear rack cooperate to effect pivoting movement of the twine dispensing member. The breakaway mechanism permits the twine dispensing member to be uncoupled from the pinion when a predetermined load is exerted on the twine dispensing member during its pivoting movement.
